Cuba Libre: A Brief History of Cuba

As a work intended as concise supplementary reading for
undergraduates, in the general pattern of Harlan Davidson’s
American and European History Series, Paul Dosal’s Cuba Libre
is a smashing success—relating the fascinating history of the
island nation in 150 pages of lively narrative—one that will
set the tone for the volumes to follow.

In its selection of facts and figures and steadily paced
storyline, this succinct history of Cuba, from first contact with
Europeans to the present, will appeal to students and instructors
alike as interesting and informative reading for the Latin American
and World History surveys, as well as specialized courses in Cuban
history of Latin American-U.S. relations.

Paul J. Dosal, born and raised in Tampa is a
fourth-generation Cuban American, a descendant of the cigar makers
who founded Ybor City in the late nineteenth century. He received
his Ph.D. in History from Tulane University in 1987 and taught at
the University of Massachusetts-Amherst (1987-95) before returning
to his home town to teach at the University of South Florida. He
has published Doing Business with the Dictators: A Political
History of the United Fruit Company in Guatemala, 1899-1944
(1993), Power in Transition: The Rise of Guatemala’s
Industrial Oligarchy, 1871-1994 (1995); and Comandante Che:
Guerrilla Soldier, Commander, and Strategist, 1956-1967 (2003).
He teaches graduate and undergraduate courses on Latin American
Civilization, Revolutions in Latin America, Cuba, and United States
Relations with Latin America.
